Everything you need to know about Cuticle Oil

Cuticle oil is an essential product in your nail care routine, whether you keep your nails natural and without product or have gel nails regularly. But what exactly does cuticle oil do? How often should you use it? And which cuticle oil is the best? In this blog, we answer the most frequently asked questions.

What is cuticle oil?

Cuticle oil is a nourishing oil specially formulated to hydrate and care for both the cuticles and the nail plate. It often contains a blend of plant-based oils, vitamins, and other nourishing ingredients. It helps prevent dry, cracked or receding cuticles.

What is cuticle oil good for?

Cuticle oil offers several benefits:

Hydrates the cuticles and prevents dryness
Strengthens the nails and reduces splitting and breakage
Stimulates healthy nail growth by nourishing the nail matrix
Protects against damage caused by frequent use of nail polish remover or gel polish

In short: cuticle oil keeps both your nails and cuticles in top condition.

Why is cuticle oil important?

Many people forget to care for their cuticles, even though healthy cuticles are vital for strong, healthy nails. Damaged or dry cuticles can lead to nails that break or split more easily. Regular use of cuticle oil helps prevent these issues and contributes to a well-groomed, polished appearance of your hands.

How do you use cuticle oil?

Applying cuticle oil is simple:

Apply a drop of oil to each cuticle.
Gently massage the oil into the cuticle and nail plate to help the nutrients absorb.
Let the oil soak in. You don’t need to rinse it off.

You can use cuticle oil on bare nails, but also if you wear gel nails. In fact, when wearing gel polish or gel nails, cuticle oil helps keep the nail and cuticle flexible and healthy, making your manicure last longer.

How often should you use cuticle oil?

For best results, use cuticle oil every day. If your cuticles are very dry, you can apply it twice a day: in the morning and at night. Regular use keeps your cuticles hydrated and your nails stronger over time.

Which cuticle oil is the best?

The best cuticle oil depends on your personal preferences and needs. When choosing a cuticle oil, consider what matters most to you:

The ingredients: For deeply nourishing care, look for oils rich in natural ingredients. The Cuticle Oil Musk contains 99% natural origin ingredients, including squalane, and offers intense hydration. If you prefer a richer formula, the Ultimate Care Oil is packed with 94% natural ingredients like olive oil, avocado oil and jojoba oil — perfect for an indulgent, luxurious feel. The Jojoba Cuticle Oil is enriched with vitamin E, ideal for conditioning both your cuticles and nails.
The applicator: Some cuticle oils have a dropper, others a brush. Choose what you find most convenient. The Ultimate Care Oil and Cuticle Oil Musk feature a dropper for precise application, while the Jojoba Cuticle Oil comes with an easy-to-use brush for quick daily use.
The scent: Prefer an unscented oil? The Jojoba Cuticle Oil is fragrance-free — a great choice if you’re sensitive to scents. If you love a subtle fragrance, the Cuticle Oil Musk offers a clean, floral, elegant musk scent, while the Ultimate Care Oil has a richer and subtle citrus scent.

Cuticle oil is a simple yet effective way to keep your nails and cuticles healthy and beautiful. By applying it daily, you prevent dryness, stimulate nail growth, and help your manicure last longer. Whether you love gel polish, artificial nails or natural nails: cuticle oil is a must-have in your nail care routine.
